Calcutta Conquest

The Calcutta Conquest is Shimano's top-of-the-line round-profile reel. A work of technological perfection and beautifully crafted from lightweight aluminium, it is designed to deliver powerful, unrivalled performance when fishing with the biggest lures.
When it comes to uncompromising design and build quality, the Calcutta Conquest is at the top of the tree. There's nothing better in Shimano's round-profile range, and if you're looking for the best reel for large lures, this is it. The all-metal design is remarkably light and deceptively compact. It feels more like a traditional reel in the hand, but the similarity ends there. You'll be amazed at the power the Calcutta Conquest produces when called upon. The result is a smooth, powerful reel on the biggest lures, especially on lures like crankbaits and oversized spinner baits.

The remarkable power performance comes from the ultra-rigid HAGANE body, combined with some of the most advanced gears produced by Shimano, including Micromodule, X-SHIP, Infinity Drive and Silent Tune. In fact, there are so many parts and so much concentrated technology inside the "Conquest" that it's a wonder the body is so compact and light. But there's more to this reel than its performance. The combination of the S3D's MGL spool and SVS braking system ensures that this reel casts as well as any other casting reel in the Shimano range, except that it's the most powerful of them all. And when you're hooking up with the biggest of predators, the large surface area of the ultra-smooth and powerful Cross Carbon brake, while the Exciting Drag Sound lets you know everything's under control, increases the fun.
